Trump is guilty, plain and simple. He created the problem (by sleeping with a pornstar when Barron William was 3 months old), had his crooked lawyers clean it up (he only surrounds himself with crooked lawyers), then went on to brake three more laws by lying about it, denying it and deliberately covering it up. The justice system worked alright this time. The judge is not crooked, the prosecutor is not and the jurors are not. However, not unlike the officers doing their jobs January 6, the well-being of each of those jurors will most definitely be in jeopardy from now on.
A common false argument about the Trump convictions is that the charges against Trump were "obscure" and "entirely unprecedented."
On the most basic level, this is false.
The same office has prosecuted dozens of cases of first-degree falsification of business records over the last 15 years.
It's the bread and butter of the Manhattan DA.
It is true that prosecuting someone for falsifying business records to conceal a campaign finance violation is uncommon — but that is because the crime itself is uncommon.
There are not that many people who run for political office in New York who also run their own businesses. And even fewer who falsify business records as part of a conspiracy to conceal violations of campaign finance law to help them win.
The idea that the prosecution is unusual is important only if it suggests that the government routinely lets others get away with similar conduct. There is no evidence suggesting that this is true.
Sad. Disconcerting. Disappointing. His first taste of accountability should not provoke anyone to support him. And the Fauci attacks are also gravely concerning.
The Fauci attacks?! Man you have your head so deep in the sand, I’m not sure even your toes are showing. You need to learn what and who Fauci really is. There are lots of sources, but the most comprehensive one I know of is The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I dare you to read it and come away still supporting the scoundrel. He’s Joseph Mengele level evil.
Robert Kennedy is unhinged and dangerous. Was Fauci Mengele when in the same position under the other 5 presidents he served? Stop believing conspiracy theories.
Yes, Fauci has been evil for decades. You obviously have chosen to only believe the government and media propaganda, and until you are willing to actually listen and examine the evidence otherwise, there is no point in arguing with you. RFK is not unhinged. While I would disagree with him on multiple issues, he comes across as a very rational, educated and thoughtful person, unlike most
I know where I am. I’m familiar with this strain of thought and ideology, so I’ve no misgivings on making any headway here. If you believe Fauci released a pox on humanity, and tricked Trump into endorsing a vaccine, we shall never see eye to eye. If you believe Jesus is the Christ and the only means for the redemption of men’s souls, on that we can agree and I will leave it on that more important note.
Well, I actually don’t believe Fauci released a pox on humanity. However, I do believe he lied in many ways and many times and had conflicts of interest in how he handled the pandemic. I don’t necessarily believe he tricked Trump, either, although he might have. Trump bought into the warp speed development of the “vaccine” (it isn’t strictly a vaccine by previous definition). Trump was fully on board and still defends that fiercely, and I don’t know that Fauci was the one responsible for that. On the last, I do agree. And that is the most important. All the best, always.
